Analysing the Fool

The Fool looks as if he is taking confident strides and is

looking up and not watching where he is walking. His direction is headed towards the edge of the cliff and he walks without hesitation, oblivious to danger, therefore he is listening to his intuition and less attention to his common sense, trusting the path he has chosen.

He is carrying a rose, which means he has time to stop and smell the roses and actually bend down and pick one. This shows that he is happy and clear in mind.

There is no grass growing under his feet which shows that he does not stay in one place very long, but ventures out to new ones, signifying new beginnings constantly.

He carries his riches out where anyone can take it and does not protect it or even watch it for that matter. This shows that he doesn't have much baggage going along with him.

He has the sun shinning on his back for the comfort of not squinting at it in the front. With this concept it seems that he is going towards whatever venture he might have - with open eyes and an open mind.

He has a white dog with him (at least my cards he is white)which means he has no prejudices and is pure.


What words describe the Fool

• Daija - My granddaughter who came out exactly like this. Growing up she would just walk right off the edge of anything, not knowing the outcome. We usually had to run and grab her before she hit the floor. She still does this to this day, trusting and not fearing and going for anything.

• zero - Starting exactly at the beginning but never ending.

• New soul - No superstitions, worries or prejudices.

• carefree - No worries about who is judging you because you have no sense of being held down

Upside down Interpretation

The first thought that comes to mind is that they might be standing on their head to do things right. Not letting go of ones ability to try new things. Holding back on any learning experiences. Afraid to venture foward without failing. Afraid of having their riches fall in the floor with the purse upside down. And now the sun is setting which means an end to any ideas. The rose is also upside down which can mean, dried out, or dead. Hanging there for all eternity as we do when we dry out a rose for memories.



How it makes me feel

I actually see green grass and feel breezes all around me. I feel the warmth of the sun and white dandelions on the ground. The sky is blue and I am lying on the ground. The fool is dancing all around me making me laugh and feel really good. I feel envy for him. Wishing I could cut loose and just get up and dance and not worry about who was watching. I feel really calm and I am not worrying about work or getting it done or even telling anyone that I am learning tarot cards. His dog is licking me in the face and making me laugh even more. I close my eyes and the shadows from the sun shinning on the trees are dancing on my eyelids. I actually feel like leaving everything behind and just going. Not caring where I am going or where I will end up. I feel like I am calm inside. I feel as if I could just start over and not worry about my age or training or anything. I feel right. I feel like I could follow him off the side of the cliff.
